SFCC Cartridge Development

Overview

Build custom cartridges for Salesforce Commerce Cloud (SFCC) using the Storefront Reference Architecture (SFRA), server-side JavaScript controllers, ISML templates, models, and the B2C Commerce Script API. This skill covers cartridge layering and the override mechanism, route handling with server.js, form handling, OCAPI/SCAPI integration, and Job Framework usage for scheduled data processing.

When to Use This Skill

• When building a custom feature cartridge that extends SFRA functionality
• When overriding or extending existing SFRA controllers, templates, or models
• When implementing custom checkout steps or payment integrations on SFCC
• When creating scheduled jobs for data import/export (product feeds, order sync)
• When building OCAPI hooks or SCAPI integrations for headless storefronts
